I guess its a question of tactics.

I can understand the necessary outrage, that makes a black person attend a protest shouting “Fuck White people! Fuck the Police!”

But if a white person is standing next to them shouting “Fuck Racism! Black lives matter!” its not particularly helpful for that black person to turn to them and shout “No! Fuck you! You racist Motherfucker!”
